Lying face up after cornea transplant surgery

Fuchs Endothelial Corneal DystrophyDescemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK)

Part of Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.

This study tests if lying face up after DMEK surgery (a cornea transplant for Fuchs dystrophy) helps the surgery work better. It may be an option for people with Fuchs dystrophy or bullous keratopathy who can lie flat on their back.

Corneal Membrane Polishing for Fuchs Eye Disease

This trial tests a surgical technique called Descemet membrane polishing during corneal transplant surgery for Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy, a condition that clouds the cornea (the clear front part of your eye). The study aims to see if this polishing step improves healing and vision after surgery.
